document.write( "Question 1089421: Parents sold 275 tickets for a fundraiser at the community center. The student tickets costs $3 and adults tickets cost $5. The total value of tickets sold is $1,025 I need to find the best system of equation to represent this problem and I got 3x + y = 275
\n" ); document.write( " x + 5y = 1,025 is this right It does not seem right to me

\n" ); document.write( "student tickets \"x\" and adults tickets \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sold \"275\" =>
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=275\".....eq.1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the student tickets costs $\"3\" and adults tickets cost $\"5\", and The total value of tickets sold is $\"1025\", than we have
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B5y=1025\".....eq.2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the system of equation to represent this problem is:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=275\".....eq.1
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B5y=1025\".....eq.2
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "use substitution\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=275\".....eq.1...solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=275-y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "go to\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B5y=1025\".....eq.2, substitute \"x\" and solve for \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3%28275-y%29%2B5y=1025\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"825-3y%2B5y=1025\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2y=1025-825\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2y=200\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=100%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "go to\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=275-y\" substitute \"y\" and solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=275-100\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=175%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so,from \"275\" tickets sold, \"highlight%28100%29\"tickets were sold to adults and \"highlight%28175%29\" tickets were sold to students\r
